In M&E, it can often be all about results. However, framing actions in empirically useful ways is just as important, and sometimes more difficult. Two recent evaluations I did with @agencypb made me reflect on this, and the result is the article below. peaceagency.org/more-actions-l…

Worth reiterating here that the only legitimacy any of Libya's widely despised political class have is their international recognition. So, this trip and these deals will do little more than entrench the dynamics which make political progress harder, and thus, crisis more likely

Key takeaway form this article: "they made a deal". At Brown, a Rare Agreement Between Administrators and Protesters nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/…

Let nobody believe that a "normalisation" deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel will help the Palestinians. The Abraham Accords, signed during the Trump era, helped bolster Arab states who wanted more weapons + surveillance tech from Israel and the US. The Palestinians were an afterthought, at best: "Saudi Arabia has decided to normalize relations with Israel, but is debating whether to implement the move in the coming weeks or after the presidential election in the United States in November, a foreign diplomat familiar with the details said. "Saudi Arabia is expected to demand guarantees that will ensure clear progress on the issue of a Palestinian state in return. "According to the diplomat, "Saudi has decided to go for an agreement with Israel. It's a principled strategic move, as part of the rapprochement with the U.S., and [Saudi Arabia] is interested in realizing it." haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
